Part of Brecon Jazz Festival, Blodeugerdd / The Great Welsh Songbook brings a contemporary Welsh jazz sound to Theatr Brycheiniog in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park this August.
Led by acclaimed Welsh trumpeter Tomos Williams, this powerful collaboration reimagines traditional Welsh melodies through modern jazz, creating something atmospheric, expressive and unmistakably rooted in Wales.
